Special Roles for Veterans

[dense shuttle]

Just a suggestion, to show appreciation to members who have been here for the past 2 years or more, the moderation team should create a role exclusively for these type of members to give back to the community. Thank you.

[mental field]

This is something we had or sometimes did if the past, last time we did it was for one of the server anniversaries.
Unfortunately among these veterans are of course users who have joined 3, 4 or even 7 years ago and went inactive. So assigning roles to a huge base of users that went inactive feels a bit pointless

[dense shuttle]

You've got nothing to lose though, if they went inactive the only thing you're really losing is a few minutes of your time taken to create the role. As a community, we can pay that back by bringing in more members.

Trust me, you won't regret this.

Do it for the people who have been here for the past 2 years or more and add a feature on a bot where it takes it away if a member goes inactive.

I'm very much sure that it's possible

[hot bluff]

Tbf I don’t think 2 years is that special to be very frank

Like I have been here for 4 years now since feb 2021 & even when I joined server was 16k people already

I think the sort of role you are suggesting will only really be valid for people who have been here since like 2018

In particular your suggestion of 2 years back is quite a short while as well as 2 years ago server was already 60k people

[dense shuttle]

yep, we can go on and do that. let's show some appreciation to the old members

[hot bluff]

Not really much use of a special role is it when 10,000’s of people have it

When the server is still a 5 digit server as well

[dense shuttle]

tbf i thought 2 years+ was a long time as whenever I talk in the general chat, I tend to come across that i'm the longest member there compared to others, that's why I suggested it

[hot bluff]

Thats because people leave & rejoin

[dense shuttle]

I don't see people who are old enough to be in the server talking though

[hot bluff]

So the date on their profile resets

[dense shuttle]

Can't really do much about that, can we?

[hot bluff]

I am just explaining to you why you seem to see yourself as an older member

Its because the discord join date on profile resets if someone leaves & rejoins

[hot bluff]

Like my original date is feb 2021, but my profile shows march 2023 because I took a break after the world cup due to moderation exhaustion

[dense shuttle]

I've already explained earlier to your statement before where you stated that people who have been here for 5 years would be more sensible to get the role, and I said we can do that instead since the server seemed more 'underrated' at the time. I just thought that having an account here 2+ years ago was quite old as I stumbled upon a bunch of new members on the general chat. If you do think that people who have been here for 2+ years don't really deserve a role, the ones who have been here for 5+ years do

[dense shuttle]

A simple solution for this is just not to provide role for the ones who rejoined

[hot bluff]

I said 7 years actually

[dense shuttle]

Yeah just replace what I said instead of 5+ years with 7+ years

[hot bluff]

Yeah that can be done for next server anniversary

Will see in September of this year

[dense shuttle]

alright

[hot bluff]

We did this in 2022 as well

[dense shuttle]

Ah really?

[hot bluff]

Will see again for this years anniversary

[hot bluff]

Yh

[dense shuttle]

What happened?

[hot bluff]

Everyone got a role based on the year they joined for server anniversary

In September 2022

[dense shuttle]

Why was it stopped for 2023 and 2024?

[hot bluff]

Need to have a different theme for every anniversary
Otherwise it just becomes monotonous

[dense shuttle]

Gotchu

I'd be able to provide these infos if needed

If I get accepted for mod

[hot bluff]

Can consider it again for this year maybe

[dense shuttle]

I just filled in the application

[dense shuttle]

alright for sure
